I will give them 60 hours max per week. If they want more than that I will just call in. I'm physically spent by Friday the way it is now.Not if your area has informed the DOT that they are following the 70/8 rule. And a lot of areas have switched to that from the 60/7.
The 70/8 is just like the 60/7. You can not drive after working 70 hours in 8 days. So even if you only work 5 days, and do a 34 hour reset every weekend, you can work 70 hours instead of 60 over your 5 days.

That is what they will get, even from someone like me, who never calls in.I will give them 60 hours max per week. If they want more than that I will just call in. I'm physically spent by Friday the way it is now.
I haven't called out in over five years. If they choose to push me too far I will change my tune though.That is what they will get, even from someone like me, who never calls in.
So under the 70/8 if they work me 70 hours M-Sat I can't drive on the following Monday even though I reset Sat 10PM-Mon 8AM? Or does the reset allow them to work me over 70 hours in Mon-Mon if I had a 34 hr reset?Not if your area has informed the DOT that they are following the 70/8 rule.

Yes you can. You have reset with 34 hours off.So under the 70/8 if they work me 70 hours M-Sat I can't drive on the following Monday even though I reset Sat 10PM-Mon 8AM? Or does the reset allow them to work me over 70 hours in Mon-Mon if I had a 34 hr reset?

Mon 8:30AM can I drive? I have worked 70 in the last 7
That just blows.Yes you can. You have reset with 34 hours off.
That just blows.
Why even call it 70 in 8 if it can be 70 in 7 and start again Monday?
The 34 hour reset is used to maximize available driving hours.
I have read several places that the use of the 34 hour reset is completely optional.
Is it optional for the driver... or the dispatcher?
If it is the driver, then could I refuse to use the reset and limit my hours to 70 in 8 days if I am under the 70/8 rule?
In other words, if the reset is optional, could I refuse to drive Monday if I had 70 hrs the previous M-Sat?
So what happens if you go over and don't reset? Are you unavailable to drive until you reset the following week?
If you exceed you could be paying a fine.Ok so if exceed 60 in 7 days and 70 in an 8 day period you are forced to reset correct?
Demand to see the DOT HOS sheet in the AM. You AND the company will get fined if you drive and are over hours.I know. I am positive I am over my hours however I have been told many different answers as to why I will be driving tomorrow. I feel like I am being thrown under the bus by my management.
I mean it's pretty simple. How many hours have you worked this week?I know. I am positive I am over my hours however I have been told many different answers as to why I will be driving tomorrow. I feel like I am being thrown under the bus by my management.
Enough with the tough questions.I mean it's pretty simple. How many hours have you worked this week?
